Clothing is an entirely different animal. ;)
I've been trying to study drawing for fashion and how clothes are drawn to help me with my cosplaying pursuits. The way fabric falls on the body is really hard to draw. >w<;

Maybe you can add some lines or some tones to her torso. Like a bit of emphasis on the chest details, as perverted as that might sound. It IS generally a good idea to not go by the reference 100%, as one of my friends from school who graduated years ago advised me. She tells me that the reference isn't always accurate so adding your own details could bring some improvements to the original reference that were possibly overlooked.
altuixde:
Above is the same girl I drew earlier.
For comparison:
I left out her ahoge this time because I couldn't figure out how it should look from the side. Also, I didn't use my ruler to measure the reference or create reference points. I'm trying to rely less on that. I still made guidelines, though.
Bonus points if you can figure out who this next one is. ^-^
I was trying to portray a different emotion in this one. This is the first drawing I've completed in the same day that I started it. In retrospect, I'm noticing that her eyes are a little too far apart and there are some other errors, but oh well. ::)

Maybe it's Haruka without her ribbons?
altuixde:
It does kinda look like Haruka, doesn't it? I was going for Kotori, though. Here are the references I used this time:
Drawing something and uploading it on the same day probably isn't a good idea. It helps me to return to a drawing after a night's sleep because then I can take a fresh look at it, and so notice more things that can be improved.
